Question clutch fluid change interval

about 1500 miles after getting a new clutch (textralia clone), my pedal pressure has been feeling a little mushy. since i have a remote clutch bleeder, i decide to bleed my fluid real quick. it was pretty dark, so i went ahead and completley changed the fluid. now my clutch pedal pressure feels like it did when i first got the clutch installed.

granted i've made abotu 25 track passes, but this seems a little extreme to me.

car has LT's, but i still have the master cylinder heat shield line. the remote bleeder is run up by the resivoir, so could that be my issue? should i just switch out my fluid for something with a higher boiling point, like a DOT4?
